2025 NFL Draft: 20 famous names who won't be drafted until the later rounds

Brooks had a storybook career at Texas Tech, culminating in back-to-back 1,500-rushing seasons. He should hear his name called after the first day of the draft, though a deep running back class hurts his stock slightly.

The younger brother of the Jaguars' star running back Travis Etienne, Trevor had over 2,000 total rushing yards in three college seasons between Florida and Georgia. He isn't considered to be the same level of prospect as his brother but should receive draft consideration.

Ewers had a productive three seasons as the Longhorns starting quarterback, including 31 passing touchdowns last season. He could be selected as early as Day 2.

Fannin is coming off an epic final season at Bowling Green, with 117 catches for 1,555 yards and 10 touchdowns. An All-American, the gifted receiver could receive late-round consideration.

Felton was the centerpiece of the Terrapins offense last season, with 96 catches for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns. He lacks the top-end physical tools of some other draft-eligible wideouts, but could be drafted on Day 3.

Gabriel had an epic college career at UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon, including Heisman consideration. He finished his career with 155 touchdown passes, and is also a threat on the ground. He could be selected on Day 2 or 3.

Harvey had back-to-back spectacular seasons at UCF, and nearly reached 3,800 yards rushing for his career. He profiles as more of a third down back due to his lack of size.

Higgins had 171 tackles in his junior season and capped his career off with 124 and All-American status last year. He could be a Day 3 selection.

Howard transferred from Kansas State to Ohio State for his senior season, going out on top as a National Champ. He completed 73% of his passes for more than 4,000 yards last season, and his accuracy could garner Day 2 consideration.

Johnson had a breakout 2024 season with the Hawkeyes, with 1,537 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns as an All-American. His lack of speed could push him to Day 3 in the draft.

The 2024 Bronko Nagurski Award winner, Kennard had a breakout season with 11.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss. He has ample size to play the edge, but likely won't be drafted until late.

A transfer from Ohio State, McCord tallied big numbers in his one year with the Orange. He finished last season with nearly 4,800 yards passing and 34 touchdowns but is well below the top tier of quarterbacks.

There's no questioning Milroe's elite athleticism, but his ability as a passer at the next level is somewhat in doubt. He had 20 rushing touchdowns and 16 touchdowns through the air last season.

Nash had a remarkable college career as both a quarterback and wideout. His breakout season as a receiver came in 2024, becoming an All-American after catching 104 passes for 1,382 yards and 16 scores. He has enough size but is still a work in progress as a receiver.

Powell-Ryland's career took off after transferring from Florida in 2023, with 24.5 sacks in two seasons. He could be called on Day 3 of the draft.

Sampson is overshadowed in the deep running back class, even after rushing for nearly 1,500 yards and 22 touchdowns last season. He could be selected as early as Day 2.

The powerful Skattebo drove the Arizona State offense last season, with over 2,300 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns. He's lacking top-end speed, but his skillset could push him to Day 2 of the draft.

Stutsman accumulated more than 100 tackles in three consecutive seasons for the Sooners. The All-American could be a Day 2 selection.

A UNLV transfer, Williams ascended in the Washington State offense over the last two seasons. He finished 2024 with 70 catches for 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns, and could be drafted on Day 3.

An All-American last season, Williams capped off his career with seven interceptions and an All-American designation. He could be drafted in the late rounds.
